For the first time in over 20 years, on January 1, 2019, published works
will enter the US public domain.1 Works from 1923 will be free for all
to use and build upon, without permission or fee. Google Books will
offer the full text of books from that year, instead of showing only
snippet views or authorized previews. The Internet Archive will add
books, movies, music, and more to its online library. HathiTrust has
made over 50,000 titles from 1923 available in its digital library.
Community theaters are planning screenings of the films. Students will
be free to adapt and publicly perform the music. Because these works are
in the public domain, anyone can make them available, where you can
rediscover and enjoy them. (Empirical studies have shown that public
domain books are less expensive, available in more editions and formats,
and more likely to be in print—see here, here, and here.) In addition,
the expiration of copyright means that you’re free to use these
materials, for education, for research, or for creative
endeavors—whether it’s translating the books, making your own versions
of the films, or building new music based on old classics. This will be

Genius lets you add line-by-line annotations to any page on the
Internet. Only a handful of people know that the web browser’s big
missing feature—the feature that was supposed to be in from the start
but didn’t make it—is the ability to annotate any page on the Internet.
Since we founded Rap Genius in 2009, we’ve built an amazing community
for breaking down the meaning of anything you’re reading line-by-line —
whether it’s Yeezus or Shakespeare — but it’s all been confined to our
site. Now, with the Genius Web Annotator, it’s possible to add context,
commentary, and images directly on top of any web page using only your
browser. News Genius is revolutionizing the way people interact with the
news. Rather than seeing reporters and news organizations as the
gatekeepers to information, we see journalism as an ongoing and evolving
discussion between many parties. We’re a community of journalists, news
junkies, designers, engineers, students, you name it, annotating new
stories every day, along with original texts (like transcripts and
speeches). This will be added to World Wide Web Reference Subject Tracer™. This will be added to Student Research Resources Subject Tracer™.
